CD44hi Posted May 26, 2014 Report Posted May 26, 2014 That sound like a great plan. I had a blast today! Juan and I just finished our 28 mile Maryland/DC ride. Awesome ride. You travel team guys need to make it up here for this ride. Maybe next weekend? Chris, that sounds great. Either Sat or Sun morning, start 9-10, is OK with me.
CD44hi Posted May 26, 2014 Report Posted May 26, 2014 Oh, man, that is terrible.... Man, Tyler Phinney broke his leg. Bummer. **BRENT**
justin Posted May 26, 2014 Report Posted May 26, 2014 That sound like a great plan. I had a blast today! Chris, that sounds great. Either Sat or Sun morning, start 9-10, is OK with me. i think i could do that i want to start riding around town but am afraid. cars do not appreciate bikes on the roads
MexicanDragon Posted May 26, 2014 Report Posted May 26, 2014 I was 55m from the finish line today. It was a pretty crazy sprint to the finish as a pack of 13 sprinted it out. I missed "The Wall" as they were calling it, a 22% grade short climb off of a tight right turn... it's beastly. I talked to one of the Litespeed shop guys who were out there, and they rode the course this weekend. He turned the corner and said "I'm walking this, guys," and I don't think anyone could blame him.These guys were averaging about 25MPH for the 102 mile ride. With 3-4 climbs up the mountain and I think 7 climbs up "the wall", I just can't imagine.Chris, Ben, Raffy... one day, you guys will have to come ride this route. I'll drive the support vehicle.**BRENT**
CD44hi Posted May 26, 2014 Report Posted May 26, 2014 i think i could do that i want to start riding around town but am afraid. cars do not appreciate bikes on the roadsthat would be great if you can make it. Wouldn't you have to start driving at an ungodly early hour? .....
VPI Posted May 26, 2014 Report Posted May 26, 2014 Justin, you can crash at my house. I have one extra bedroom that hasn't been given away to the hobbies. 4

Dreadhead Posted May 30, 2014 Report Posted May 30, 2014 Great thanks. I think 9:30 should be doable but I need to get blessing from my wife. I'll update tonight.
Mister X Posted May 30, 2014 Report Posted May 30, 2014 New bits to fix sticky 6-7-8 shifts. http://www.ebay.com/itm/221119885994 I prolly should have bought a retail kit but it did the trick. Time to go see how they fare after some abuse.
Dreadhead Posted June 1, 2014 Report Posted June 1, 2014 I'm going to try and show up about an hour or so early and do some riding before hand. See you all there.
